Shimmy Shimmy Quarter Turn Lyrics - Life In Dreaming - Hidden In Plain View

The wilted flowers that I gave 

Were not as nice as your bouquet 

All the lyrics that I wrote 

Not as smart as the words you spoke 

The starlight above my hometown 

Ain't as bright as the star I've found 

Every drawing that I do 

Is never ever as cute as you 

I'm as serious as a heart attack 

I'm looking in my almanac 

I've gotta find out all the things, 

Find out where she got her wings 

Shimmy shimmy quarter turn 

I feel like I will never learn 

How can I check lost and found 

When I'm too busy getting down 

Gotta get it back to 

A back up plan to find you 

Start acceleration 

Take it back to square one [Repeat x2] 

I swear that I'm not kidding 

We're just trying to fit in 

With all the other answers 

To questions never confirmed 

States that keep us far apart 

Track the beating of my heart 

Mark the places in my book 

With photographs we never took 

I swear that I'm not kidding 

The night time is so pretty 

With all the stars above your eyes 

I'm sneaking out and making ties 

States that keep us far apart 

Track the beating with a chart 

Mark the rhythms that I shook 

Every time I caught you look
